guide permissive hypothermia. A Foley catheter facilitates monitoring kidney func­tion and controlling uid balance. Patients are intubated with a double-lumen endo­bronchial tube for single-lung ventilation during the procedure. A CSFD catheter is inserted by the anesthesia team at the L3–4, L4–5, or L5–S1 level. The patient is administered prophylactic antibiotics—vancomycin and cefepime—1hour before the initial incision. In patients with prior elephant trunk repair, ultrasonography is used to locate the graft that is hanging within the proximal portion of the descending thoracic aorta.
Positioning
The patient is commonly arranged in a right lateral decubitus position, with the upper body at a 60° angle in relation to the operating table. The hips are then angled 30° to the horizontal (Fig.3). The lower limbs are positioned to allow rapid access to the femoral arteries if cannulation becomes necessary. A beanbag is inated to maintain this position.

Exposure
Our surgical approach to open repair of DTA and TAAA has been described previ­ously [32]. Briey, for isolated DTA repair, the segment to be replaced is approached through a posterolateral thoracotomy through the fth or sixth intercostal space, depending on the extent of repair. For Crawford extent I and II TAAAs, a sigmoid­shaped skin incision is made from behind the left scapula, along the seventh rib, across the costal margin, and toward the left periumbilical region. The chest is entered through the sixth intercostal space. For extent III TAAA repairs, the seventh or eighth intercostal space is entered; for extent IV TAAA repairs, a straight oblique incision is made through the ninth or tenth intercostal space. Left medial visceral rotation and circumferential division of the diaphragm enable exposure of the entire thoracoabdominal aorta. Using table-mounted self-retaining retractors maintains stable exposure throughout the procedure. The entire thoracoabdominal aorta is exposed by medial visceral rotation and circumferential division of the diaphragm. Possible clamp sites are dissected. In patients with chronic DeBakey type I aortic dissection, prior adhesions related to previous proximal aortic surgery necessitate more dissection, which makes preparing the proximal clamp site more challenging; however, if the patient underwent prior aortic arch replacement with an elephant trunk extension, the trunk is used as the proximal clamp site, which lessens prepara­tion. In cases with no appropriate proximal site (e.g., contained rupture, an extremely large aneurysm, extension into the distal transverse arch), hypothermic circulatory arrest is used.
Left Heart Bypass
Left heart bypass is used routinely in Crawford extent I and II repairs and selec­tively in other distal aortic repairs. After heparin (1mg/kg) is administered, a can­nula is placed in the left atrium via left inferior pulmonary venotomy, held with a purse-string suture, and connected to the drainage line of the LHB circuit. Another cannula is placed in the distal descending thoracic aorta and connected to the cir­cuit’s inow line. After LHB ow is initiated, the proximal aortic clamp is placed just distal or proximal to the left subclavian artery. Performing the proximal anasto­mosis during repair of DTA and TAAA is technically challenging; establishing a proximal aortic cuff that is sufciently long and suitable for suturing is critical. Most commonly, this anastomosis is made immediately beyond the clamp placed distal to the left subclavian artery. However, in cases involving substantial dilatation of the distal arch (which is not uncommon in patients with DeBakey type I aortic dissection), the clamp is placed across the transverse aortic arch proximal to the left subclavian artery, and a bulldog clamp is used to occlude the left subclavian artery (Fig.4). Once proximal control is established, a second aortic clamp is placed across the mid-descending thoracic aorta, and LHB ows are increased.

Proximal Anastomosis
The isolated segment of the proximal descending thoracic aorta is longitudinally opened, and the aorta is completely divided at the level of the proximal anastomosis. All shed blood is collected and returned to the patient through a cell saver system. Then, the thick dissecting membrane between the true and false lumens is excised (Fig.4). Meanwhile, patent intercostal arteries at this level are oversewn with 2–0 silk sutures. For the proximal anastomosis, the aorta is transected, which allows full-thickness suturing through the aortic wall without risk of injuring the esopha­gus, pulmonary artery, or recurrent laryngeal nerve and allows absolute conrma­tion of all channels in the dissected aorta (Fig.5).
To perform the proximal anastomosis, we typically use continuous 3–0 polypropyl­ene suture; however, in patients with heritable disorders like MFS, we prefer ner suture material, either 4–0 or 5–0. The graft material of choice for aortic surgery is Dacron impregnated with either collagen or gelatin; the graft is soaked tableside in rifampin. For distal aortic repair, usually, a 24-, 26-, or 28-mm graft is used. The rst stitch is placed at the posterolateral corner of the aorta and tied. Because it is difcult to rotate

the aorta, we perform the posterior half of the suturing transluminally (Fig.5). The suture is passed through all layers, with particular care taken to include the intima. The posterior part of the anastomosis is accomplished by running the suture medially (away from the surgeon) (Fig.6). After the primary suture line is completed and the suture ends are tied, the graft is gently lifted up and the posterior portion of the anastomosis is carefully examined. Pledgeted mattress sutures are applied to areas with widely sepa­rated sutures, overlapping sutures, or tears in the aorta. In patients with notable dilation or residual dissection of the aortic arch, a reversed elephant trunk approach may be undertaken to facilitate subsequent proximal aortic repair; an extended (approximately 8-cm) portion of the replacement graft is invaginated to create the reversed elephant trunk, and the folded edge is used to create the proximal anastomosis.
Sequential Graft Clamping
Once the proximal anastomosis is complete, LHB is tapered and then discontinued. The aortic cross-clamp is removed and placed further distal on the graft (Fig.7). Moving the clamp is especially crucial if it was originally placed proximal to the left

subclavian artery, because moving it distally re-establishes ow to the subclavian and vertebral arteries. The distal cannula can be removed, and the distal cross-clamp released. With scissors or electrocautery, the aorta is opened longitudinally; the length of the incision depends on the extent of repair and may extend to the bifurca­tion of the iliac arteries. The aortic wall is prepared by excising the dissecting sep­tum and manually removing any thrombus; this allows exposure of all intercostal, visceral, and lumbar branches. As possible throughout repair, the clamp is reposi­tioned to aid perfusion and thereby reduce ischemic conditions.

Reimplantation ofSpinal Arteries
Any rapidly bleeding spinal arteries are ligated. If there is good backow, the infe­rior mesenteric artery is ligated with 2–0 silk suture. Of the remaining spinal arter­ies, a pair is selected for reimplantation into the aortic graft. These arteries should be between T7 and L2, close to each another, and large in caliber, and they should have no back-bleeding. Two techniques can be used to reattach the spinal arteries: an island patch or a small-diameter (8-mm) interposition graft. If the patient’s anatomy is favorable, we prefer to implant the arteries as a patch, while incorpo­rating a minimal amount of native aortic tissue. To reattach the arteries, a hole is cut into the Dacron graft, and the graft and island patch are anastomosed side-to­side with 3–0 polypropylene suture (Fig.8). In areas where the native aortic tissue is fragile, a 3–0 or 4–0 pledgeted mattress suture can be used as reinforcement. After the patch reimplantation of the intercostal arteries is completed, whenever possible, the proximal aortic cross-clamp is moved down the aortic graft to a posi­tion immediately distal to the intercostal patch to allow reperfusion of the reim­planted spinal arteries. If repair is limited to the descending thoracic aorta, the distal anastomosis is performed as an open procedure (Fig.5); the dissecting mem­brane between the true and false lumen is fenestrated to ensure that both lumens remain perfused.
Management ofVisceral Arteries
Care must be taken to identify the renal and visceral arteries. In particular, the left renal artery is often displaced in patients with chronic dissection. During reimplan­tation of the spinal arteries, if any of the renal artery ostia are accessible, 9-Fr bal­loon perfusion catheters are placed in the renal arteries to infuse with cold perfusate via a standalone circuit (Fig.8). If LHB was used, the celiac trunk and SMA are perfused with isothermic blood at 400–500 mL/min from a modied circuit. Endarterectomy of branching arteries is performed as needed. When dissection extends into the origins of the visceral vessels, the septum is excised or fenestrated, or the false lumen is sutured closed or obliterated by placing a balloon-expandable

stent (7×15mm) inside the true lumen. These stents are positioned and expanded within the affected branch under direct vision and without guidewires, as detailed elsewhere [33].
If distal aortic repair ends at the level of the renal and visceral vessels (i.e., an extent I TAAA repair), the distal end of the graft can be tailored in a beveled fashion and sutured end-to-end with 3–0 polypropylene suture; distal fenestration is per­formed to ensure that both lumens remain perfused. Otherwise, repair necessitates reimplanting visceral arteries by using an island patch, bypass grafts, or both. Although a single patch can be used to reimplant all 4 visceral arteries, more com­monly, the celiac, superior mesenteric and right renal arteries are reimplanted together as a 3-vessel patch to an opening made in the side of the graft. The remain­ing left renal artery is subsequently addressed and continues to undergo cold renal perfusion. Once the celiac, superior mesenteric, and right renal arteries are reim­planted, the cross-clamp is moved distally to a position below the visceral patch, thereby restoring perfusion to these arteries.
Single or multiple bypass grafts (including a prefabricated 4-branched graft) are used more frequently in repairs of chronic dissection than in repairs of aneurysm because of a tendency toward displacement of visceral artery origins and in efforts to minimize the residual aortic tissue associated with MFS.The 4-branched graft

technique affords a durable repair in patients with heritable thoracic aortic disease by eliminating residual native aorta in the visceral segment, thereby preventing the future development of patch aneurysm; additionally, anastomotic tension is reduced in this approach, which decreases the likelihood of late pseudoaneurysm formation. Because of the extended lower-extremity ischemic time necessitated by completing 4 separate anastomoses, the distal aortic anastomosis is performed before the vis­ceral arteries are attached to the graft, enabling distal perfusion (Fig.9). Meanwhile, visceral arteries are separately perfused. The order of visceral artery anastomosis usually is the right renal artery, the SMA, the celiac trunk, and the left renal artery as detailed elsewhere [34] (Fig.10). Additional adjustments for repair in patients with MFS include using a ner suture (e.g., 4–0 instead of 3–0 polypropylene suture) and directly incorporating sutures into the visceral artery rather than merely approaching the ostia [34].
Distal Anastomosis
The distal aortic anastomosis usually is constructed at the level of the aortic bifur­cation (or, occasionally, to each iliac or femoral artery separately). If the chronic dissection continues distally, the septum is fenestrated by resecting wedges of the dissecting membrane proximally and distally from within the aortic cuffs,

allowing blood to ow through both true and false channels after the reconstruc­tion is completed. As needed, a bifurcated graft is anastomosed to the junction of the internal and external iliac arteries or more distally. The distal end of the aortic graft is trimmed to the appropriate length, and the distal anastomosis is performed end-to- end with continuous 3–0 or 4–0 polypropylene suture (depending on the quality of the tissue). The circumference of the distal anastomosis is selectively reinforced with pledgeted 3–0 polypropylene sutures in an interrupted mattress fashion. Then the patient is placed in Trendelenburg position, a 27-gauge needle is used to puncture multiple de-airing holes in the graft, and the aortic cross-clamp is slowly removed to re-establish blood ow to the pelvis and both lower extremities.
If the left renal artery is still receiving perfusate, it is now mobilized. A side­biting clamp is placed on the aortic graft, and ame cautery is used to make a 1-cm hole in the Dacron. The balloon perfusion catheter is removed, and an end-to-side anastomosis is completed with a 5–0 polypropylene suture and reinforced as need with pledgeted mattress suture. If the artery is of inadequate length, a small- diameter (8-mm) graft is used to bridge the distance. Before the suture is tied down, the

side- biting clamp is released to deair the aorta through the nal anastomosis. At this time, the inferior pulmonary vein is decannulated, and the purse-string suture is tied down.

Hemostasis andClosure
All anastomoses and suture ligatures are checked for bleeding and are reinforced as needed. After protamine has been given and surgical hemostasis has been secured, blood products are transfused as necessary to reverse any coagulopathy. The cut edges of the opened native aorta are cauterized. The completed repair is inspected to make sure that the main graft and its branches lie properly without kinking (Fig.11). Both femoral arteries, both left renal arteries, the proper hepatic artery, and intestinal arterial branches are palpated for pulses and to ensure adequate blood ow. The kidneys are palpated for turgor, the bowel is visualized to conrm that it is well perfused, and the spleen is inspected for injury. A closed-suction abdominal drain is placed in the upper left retroperitoneal space. The left hemidiaphragm is reapproximated up to the costal margin with a continuous 1–0 polypropylene suture. Two straight 36-Fr chest tubes are placed in an anteroapical and posterobasal posi­tion within the left chest cavity. The abdominal fascia and chest are closed.
Postoperative Care
Distal aortic dissection repair is a tremendous undertaking, requiring supportive care in the postoperative period. The patients are kept intubated overnight to control parameters and achieve optimal outcomes. Standard intensive care monitoring and volume resuscitation are essential; in addition, the patients’ neurological status is veried every hour. The CSF pressure should be 15–20mmHg. To achieve this goal, the CSF can be drained up to 10mL/h, with a maximum quantity of 25mL/4h. Exceeding this amount can lead to intracranial hemorrhage or herniation. In the event of emerging spinal cord decit, the target CSF pressure is lowered to 10mmHg, the goal mean arterial pressure (MAP) is increased to 90–110 mmHg, and the target hemoglobin level is raised to >10g/dL.The patient is administered intravenous mannitol (12.5 g/L) and dexamethasone (10 mg/L) every 12 h for 24–48h. If the CSF drain was removed before the onset of paraparesis or paraple­gia, it should be quickly reinserted. In the absence of spinal cord complications, the CSF drain can be removed between 24–48h postoperatively. Before removal, the drain can be clamped for 12–24h to ensure the absence of neurological sequalae.
Patients can be extubated the morning after surgery when they are alert, oriented, and capable of protecting their airway. Typically, on postoperative day 4, the patient
